OLD SPECIAL STAGES:
* Spheres in old special stages instead of rings!
* Individual timers in old special stages instead of a global one!
* Old special stages use a variant of the NiGHTS HUD now!
* Special stage damage in old special stages loses 5 seconds of time instead of 10 rings/spheres!
* All damage gained through old special stages is converted to special stage damage! As a consequence, the special spikeball has no need to be special anymore.
* Made emerald gaining function be based on special stage number rather than gained emeralds!
* Consistency with...
NiGHTS SPECIAL STAGES:
* Spheres now flash in bonus time. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452590553100713984/srb20032.gif
* Sphere and ring mapthingnums are now less fucked up in 'em. (Rings are 300, same as usual, while Spheres are now 1706 replacing NiGHTS Wings.)
SPECIAL STAGES IN GENERAL:
* useNightsSS is now dead. Each individual special stage is now assessed for NiGHTS-mode behaviour based on maptol & TOL_NIGHTS.
* CRAWLA HONCHO\n CAN NOW BE\n SUPER CRAWLA HONCHO end tally modification now also includes a mini-tutorial on turning super. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.gif
* SONIC GOT A CHAOS EMERALD? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452623869497573386/srb20034.gif
NiGHTS NON-SPECIAL STAGES:
* Colour Chips and Star Chips! Replaces Spheres and Rings of NiGHTS Special Stages.
* Colour Chips turn yellow in bonus time.
* Ideya!
* Its own "drowning" music!
* All of the object types for Dream Hill.
* GIF: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.gif
RANDOM BS:
* Turn super with the spin button instead of the jump button!
* Followmobj now correctly set with P_SetTarget instead of pointer assignment.
* Emerald hunt uses new sprites!
* Made unlock noise different from emblem gain noise! (It's the CRAWLA HONCHO CAN NOW TURN yadda yadda sound from S3K now.)
* Better Robo Hood arrows.
* Shield break animation for Egg Guard. (Temporary state slot so I don't have to compile from scratch until I do something more complicated later.)
* Suspicious Facestabber Statue animates a little before bursting open.
* Fix Facestabber radius.
* Fix some stuff in Flicky functions that could be overwritten in Lua call actions by mistake.
* Facestabber statues, of both the suspicious and non-suspicious kind.
* New object type for the end of grabbable chains.
* I moved my compilation .bat file to my Releases folder, so it should .gitignore .bat's.
* Random extra stuff.
* Blue diagonal springs, because that gap is very, very odd.
* Improved A_SpawnFreshCopy.
* Tweaked P_LookForEnemies for consistency's sake. (Previously, it was impossible to make a spring that could neither be homing-attacked or attraction-shotted.)
* Behaves a bit differently to the one in DSZres.pk3.
* Can now punch DSZ mines!
* Also has mapthingnum 126 instead of 610.
* Some other mapthingnum changes.
* DSZ2 stalagmite is now 1009, formerly 999.
* Big DSZ gargoyle is now 1011, formerly 1009.
* Make the MF_PAIN stuff ONLY depend on mass, using the bottom 8 bits for the type and the custom sound in the upper ones.
* A bunch of cleanup of random other stuff, including an unused Deton state and an unused Jetty type's sprite.
* Add damagetype to P_RadiusAttack (optinteger in lua, A_Explode var1).
* Removed the prevention of MF_BOSS objects from getting P_RadiusAttacked. This was a holdover from DooM (I checked) - a way to prevent the Cyberdemon from gibbing itself when firing point blank into a wall, and also a way to make it and the Spider Mastermind harder.
* Enemies are solid to other enemies movement-wise now.
* (Fun little aside - if you remove MF_SOLID from a monitor, it now behaves like they did in Sonic Adventure (poppable by colliding with, not just attacking).
* Fixed Metal Sonic battle conflict in MF_PAIN/mass not picked up earlier.
* Miscellaneous tiny code tweaks.
* Made Facestabbers take two hits and have associated pain/death animations. No other changes, just wanted to make sure THIS was done.
* Move Bubblebuzz-related stuff to go alongside the secret badniks and etc.
* MF2_INVERTAIMABLE. Inverts whether P_LookForEnemies can get at; replaces a hardcoded thingy.
* MF_PAIN and MF_MISSILE now support setting damagetype via their Mass parameter. The two existing conflicts - the fuse setting for the grenade weapon ring and the Cybrakdemon napalm bomb - had these moved to other free parameters.
* A_ConnectToGround is EXTREMELY useful for palmtrees and stuff.
* Some other, relatively hacky A_ functions.
* (Unrelated) Remove the need for a "Mario block mode" for the token by making it natively compatible.
* Spikes and their time-offsetting via that Lua script sphere made. Also allow for wallspikes to do it via their angle/360.
* Handle all chain objects as a hnext/hprev chain.
* When removing mobjs with hnext/hprev, "repair the chain" (make the h links meet).
* Fix hidden slings, which I accidentially broke when I revamped maces the first time.
* Kill MF2_MACEROTATE. Not needed for anything anymore.
* P_MaceRotate now available to Lua to make up for it.
* Related: Made modifying hnext/hprev using Lua safer, so it keeps the reference counts in play.
* cv_powerupdisplay. Never, First-person only (default), Always.
* New monitor stuff.
* Fixed hitmessages.
* Some CTF stuff.
* Aaaaugh it's a lot I hate myself I need to work on my coursework.
* I'll figure out what I did here in the merge request when that's done.
* Completely redid how splitscreen works, with eventual support for quads. Squish per-player stuff automatically into the right places! Works in GL, associated flag kills V_SPLITSCREEN.
* Seriously update the lives-drawing function for all gametypes, with strings that replace the lives number whenever it's missing (deprecates SKINNAMEPADDING).
* Improved how the nosshack works, alongside many other refactorings.
* Add a default behaviour to followmobj (just basic A_CapeChase).
* Allow for modifying which character starting a new SP game should start you on, relative to the first valid character. (SOC's "startchar" variable)
* Make MF2_SHADOW transferrable via linkdraw.
* Modify P_GetSkinSprite2's recursion limiter to have zero chance of ever infinitely looping.
* cv_useranalog is now hidden from the menu.
* Directionchar now attempts to face the camera direction when you're standing still, and handles a few other states with more decorum.
* Tailsbot is now slightly more capable of keeping up with Sonic.
* pflags rearranged/adjusted, combining a few non-simulstaneous ones and turning PF_NIGHTSFALL into CR_NIGHTSFALL.
* [unrelated to branch] all ground-impact based abilities now happen more consistently with quicksand.
- Name each frame either SPR2_**** or SUPER**** (where **** is the 4-character name)
- If the name is 3 characters, '.' is accepted as a substitute for the '_', but a space/absent isn't (for tool-related reasons).
- Adds a big sprite2 index array to all models, even non-player ones. Sorry!
* Made MD2 frame interpoleration only work across the same spriteset (and sprite2set).
* Made MD2 frame interpoleration happen when there's less than a quarter of a second between frames, as opposed to the hardcoded specific animation disabling.
* Fixed sprite2-related typo in dehacked.c.
